I have lived here my whole life. The local police are very professional and do a great job. Pretty creepy at night due to lack of street lamps in some of the residential neighborhoods. Nothing in the area is open late into the night except for a Love's/Subway near I-40.

Just recently moved to Mcloud, and it has a nice small town country feel to it. There is a nice lake and grocery store near by. The school is expanding as well as the community. Hard to get some services out here (cox, etc.), but some are available. It can be creepy at night, but seeing the stars is so peaceful.

Most people are friendly and willing to give a helping hand if it's asked of them. The rural space is calming and is absolutely beautiful when spring is in full bloom. It's far enough from any town to afford privacy, but it's close enough to where I am able to go into town with about a 35-45 minute drive.
